Jirkfectation

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: jirk fek tay shun

Sentence: Why did Lacey ever think that George's habit of using chauvinistic terms of endearment was cute? His familiarity had seemed quaint when he called her Cutie or Babe or Toots or Doll. She was beginning to think he could not remember her actual first name. His jirkfectation was equally applied to all women he encountered. But he went too far in calling the Mother Superior of the local convent, Hottie. Lacey reckoned his punishment in Hell would be a term of enfearment.

Etymology: Jerk (a dull stupid fatuous person) & Irk (to irritate or vex)& Affectation (a deliberate pretense or exaggerated display)

Reminds me of a quantum computing qubit. It's like a habit that is only annoying depending on your point of view. On an only slightly related point, I once used "qubyte" in a round of Scrabble! - ErWenn, 2007-02-16: 10:43:00

I like it. It even works without the CS reference, as in "to bug someone." It'd be better as two words, but we don't really have that option here. Gets my vote anyway. - ErWenn, 2007-02-16: 10:46:00

Created by: ErWenn

It was tricky to come up with right word for this one...

Lots of good words for annoying habits today. It seems to be much harder to come up with a good word for an annoying habit that starts out as endearing.
